What model sewing machine do you have? That will make it easier for us to recommend a bobbin.
ALSO, very important to use the small brush they give you with the sewing machine and clean out the bobbin area of all the dust that builds up. If you do not have the brush with the machine, you need a make up brush or a small think brush that looks like this below. Sewing machine parts are made to fit very closely together and even the smallest amount of dust and dirt build up can make the machine operate improperly and make that thumping noise you heard. Good luck Walter.
